Alchemical Symbolism in the VMS

[nablator]

i was doing OK, till I got to "tingentem". Then there seems to be a problem: 'dying' versus 'dyeing'. And then the correction seems rather awkward. Who's doing what to whom?

Also "fixio" is not "I fix", it would be "figo". So "fixio in terram spiritualem & tingentem" should be "fixation in a spiritual and dyeing earth".

Following sentence : "when you wash ... ": "abueris" (doesn't exist) could have been "ablueris" (wash) but it's "habueris" (have) in the 1550, 1610 and 1702 editions. Also checked in the oldest (15th c.) ms., so I'm pretty sure it is "habueris".
